Embodiment Construction

[0043]FIG. 1 shows an arrangement for connecting the terminal contacts of an electronic component to a printed circuit board which has two electronic components 1, respectively assigned flexible conductors 2 and a printed circuit board 3.

[0044] In the exemplary embodiment represented, the electronic components 1 are optoelectronic components, which convert electrical signals into optical signals, or vice versa. One of the two optoelectronic components 1 arranged next to each other is in this case preferably a transmitting component and the other is a receiving component. For optical coupling to an optical fiber, a plug region 11 is provided. However, it is pointed out that the arrangement is suitable in principle for the contacting of any desired electronic components.

[0045] For their contacting, the optoelectronic components 1 have electrical contacts 12, which are illustrated well in FIG. 3. In the exemplary embodiment represented, they are terminal pins 12, which protrude from ...

Abstract

An arrangement for connecting the terminal contacts of an electronic component to electrical contacts formed on a printed circuit board. An at least partly flexible conductor support having a plurality of interconnects provides an electrical connection between the terminal contacts of the electronic component and the electrical contacts of the printed circuit board such that a portion of the conductor support that is connected to the printed circuit board is arranged on an end face of the printed circuit board and extends perpendicularly in relation to the upper and lower surfaces of the printed circuit board. Furthermore, a conductor support formed with relatively narrow middle portion is provided to facilitate such an arrangement.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application claims priority of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 60 / 512,028 filed by Andreas Stockhaus and Christian Carstens on Oct. 17, 2003.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to an arrangement for connecting the terminal contacts of an electronic component to a printed circuit board and to a conductor support for such an arrangement. In particular, the invention relates to the electrical connection of the terminal pins of an optical transmitting and / or receiving device to a printed circuit board using a flexible conductor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] It is known from DE 100 64 577 A1 to solder the terminal pins of a TO package which contains an optical transmitting and / or receiving device directly to a printed circuit board. Since both the printed circuit board and the TO package are fixed in a common housing (usually a transceiver housing), inadmissibly high mechanical stresses can occur, however, at the soldering poi...
